There has been a rumour going around the corners that star cricketer of Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma has removed Indian Cricket Team from his Twitter bio. This is after being excluded from the Indian squad which will go to Australia. Sharma has not played in last two matches of Mumbai Indians. Ishan Kishan has opened the innings for Mumbai Indians in the absence of Sharma and Kieron Pollard has led the side.
The Untold Story Of Rohit Sharma And Why Was He Not Picked For The Indian Team?
The Indian squad has been announced on Monday and the fans have been quite surprised not to see Sharma in the squad. KL Rahul has been made the vice-captain of the side in the shorter formats of the game. After the announcement of the squad, Mumbai Indians’ official handles have posted a picture of Rohit Sharma practising in the nets.
This has raised a few eyebrows. The former Indian cricketer, Sunil Gavaskar has told that there should be some transparency regarding the selection process. BCCI has announced that they will monitor the physical condition of Sharma and Ishant Sharma in the meantime.
Rohit Sharma has gained a bit of weight in the lockdown period. Rohit Sharma has been an integral member of Indian Cricket Team in last few years. Even in the shorter format of the game, Rohit Sharma’s stats are better than Virat Kohli. The fans are anticipating some politics behind Rohit Sharma’s exclusion from Indian Cricket Team.
Is The Mumbai Indians’ Skipper Still Injured? What Next For Team India?
However, the rumour about the change of Twitter bio is not true. One fan has posted a screenshot of Rohit Sharma’s Twitter profile from August. The bio has been the same since that time. The screenshot is not fake as it is showing the number of followers of Rohit Sharma is 17 million. The number of followers of the Hitman is currently 17.6 million at this moment.
The star player of India has been a fan favourite for his elegant style of play. The fans have also appealed from various corners that Rohit Sharma should be the captain of team India in white-ball cricket. Rohit Sharma has led Mumbai Indians side to win four IPL titles so far. He has been quite successful as the captain of team India in the absence of Virat Kohli. So, it will not be a tough job for him to take the pressure of captaincy of team India at this moment.
BCCI has announced KL Rahul as the vice-captain of team India in shorter formats of the game. It has been quite a big statement shown by BCCI. Will Sharma be named as the vice-captain again when he will be included in Indian Team in future? The question is lingering all over Social Media. There has been no news about the fitness status of Rohit Sharma from the camp of Mumbai Indians. Apparently, he is suffering from a hamstring issue at this moment. Sharma has been a key figure of Indian Cricket Team and the side will not be the same without him.
